Kylt's Banebow: 87.5% Win Rate

[darkenheart]

I like the way you explain your decks. Moreso this one. Do you ever lose steam against control decks? Let me rephrase that, any tough matchups?
Btw, my bb's strategy is same as yours but a lot different with the cards. Nice deck!

I like your deck very much, so kudos to you on your build.

My only disagreement is Plasma Behemoth. Typically, when I run Banebow, I never assume I'll have more than 5-6 res in play throughout the entire game. That said, his ability becomes too cost intensive. But, even THAT aside, I literally cannot tell you the last time an opponent played a Plasma Behemoth against me and I actually faced its wrath on the following turn. It NEVER stays on the board and active for a full turn. Maybe that's just been my experience.

Again, though, minor disagreement aside, very nice looking deck.

That's because they have to get rid of him. If he stays on the board for a single turn, you most often win the game. Also, at 6 resources you can easily just spam his ability and play 3cc cards as well.

No. Or yes, I did lose stream but my opponent had a worse stream. 87.5 % simply means I was relatively better than my opponent.

3 loss in 40 games came from 1) not knowing how to play in mirror match ups, 2) not being able to play any allies until t5, and 3) not being able to draw t5 SS or FT to counter the early perfect rush when I went second.

Having said that, I think my Zhanna (or normal Zhanna) or my Boris can beat this BB deck. Both by out drawing cards.

Standard Zhanna:
t4 Staff, t5 Tidal Wave, t6 Banish BB's PB, t7 KP etc.

Boris
t2 CB, t3 3cc, t4 3cc, t5 retreat + BF, t6 Dragon's tooth etc.

It's a good deck. Thanks for sharing. I know my heart sinks every time I see a PB flop onto the board.

Thanks for giving a detailed explanation of your deck. Good win rate too! Love the part you included how much it costs to build the deck in gold - very innovative.

[BlanketEffect]

Good point on PB. It's been so long since I've actually played with it, I forgot what I'd written about it in the Omega article, which is that he is an absolute attention grabber, and a "deal-with-or-die" obstacle for your opponent.

I have had some success subbing out WotF for Battle Plans in this deck.

I will sac it early on if my 2cc drop is there, but if i stall out on turn 4 I like it better than WotF so far.

Speeding up your deck always gives you a good advantage. Especially if I am in need of a shriek or Sever Ties.

Just throwing that out there for people looking for an alternative. So far so good!!

Loving this deck btw.

Lol Battle Plans can't be considered as a draw engine. At best it provides some pseudo-draw. And if we're talking about speeding up your deck to dig for vital cards it'll be WotF that gets you there not Battle Plans. You gotta learn how to use WotF properly though, it's not easy to time when to drop it

awesome deck

Not a fan of battle plans, me.
